  • Optimized DeepSpeech2 MKL backend performance (~7X improvement over the CPU backend)
  • Fused convolution and bias layer which significantly boosted AlexNet and VGG performance on Intel architectures with MKL backend
  • Made SSD and Faster-RNN use VGG weight files in new format
  • Fixed use of reset_cells hyperparameter
  • Fixed MKL backend bug for GAN and Faster-RCNN models
